Accidents caused by Loxosceles spiders are important in Veterinary Medicine due to the severity of the injury they cause and the possible systemic complications that can lead to the animal's death. However, there are few epidemiological records. This is why it is necessary to generate basic knowledge to consider loxoscelism as a possible condition, to generate an early diagnosis from clinical data and anamnesis, with the identification of the animal that caused the accident when it is possible. The present study aims to describe the evolution of the lesions probably caused by Loxosceles sp. poisoning in a 6-year-old female canine, 7 kg, Fox Terrier breed, received at the Small Animal School Hospital of Veterinary Sciences Faculty, UNLPam. Lesions were observed on the left ocular conjunctiva, with evident bleeding, left upper lip with swelling and hematoma also with bleeding; edema and bruising of hind limbs in the popliteal and thigh regions. Laboratory studies showed hemolytic anemia and coagulopathy signs. The animal was treated with specific antivenom, fresh whole blood transfusion, corticosteroids, and antibiotics. Based on the clinical data and the evidence of the presence of Loxosceles sp. in the house (ootheca and molts), it is conjectured that this could be a case of dermo-hemolytic loxoscelism, with favorable evolution of the patient one week later, despite the severity of the case.

The author presents the concepts of shame and humiliation using as a starting point the contributions of an argentine psychoanalyst, Benito López, articulating these with the sphere of looking in its relation to the primal scene. She suggests that infantile pride, stemming from identity confusion, turns into shameful withdrawal when this unconscious phantasmic nakedness is revealed by the look of an Other (a parental subrogate). She considers that looking might suffer a regressive quality, acquiring anal features, carrying out an intrusion into the object by means of the ocular sphincter, in order to take possession of its qualities, as it occurs in intrusive voyeurism. Reversion on the self leads to a narcissistic collapse where humiliation is the negative of the narcissistic megalomania. Following Freud's contributions with regards to self observation and Foucault´s on discipline, looking is examined as an instrument of coercion that has both repressive and disciplining effects. The argentine film The invisible eye is used to illustrate the entanglement of the three terms, looking, shame and surveillance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We analyze the connections between scientists and physicians in relation to the development and therapeutics of trachoma in Argentina, contagious eye infection, considered a dangerous social disease worldwide. This question is especially linked to the contexts of knowledge construction at the international level and to the colonial domination of the European powers. These contacts have been studied since the late nineteenth century, when the disease began to be detected in Argentina until the 1930s, when the participation of Argentine doctors in different ophthalmological associations related to trachoma would indicate a local concern to join international circles. We review manuals and journals published in Argentina and national and international congress proceedings, as well as The British Journal of Ophthalmology and the Revue Internationale du Trachome.

Objective. Determine the prevalence of blindness and avoidable visual impairment in Argentina, its causes, the coverage of cataract surgery, and the barriers that hinder access to these services. Methods. Cross-sectional population study conducted between May and November 2013 using the standard methodology for rapid assessment of avoidable blindness (RAAB), with a random cluster sampling of 50 people aged 50 years or more, representative of the entire country. Participants' visual acuity (VA) was measured and the lens and posterior pole were examined by direct ophthalmoscopy. An assessment was made of the causes of having VA < 20/60, the coverage and quality of cataract surgery, and the barriers to accessing treatment. Results. 3 770 people were assessed (92.0% of the projected number). The prevalence of blindness was 0.7% (confidence interval of 95%: 0.4-1.0%). Unoperated cataract was the main cause of blindness and severe visual impairment (44.0% and 71.1%, respectively), while the main cause of moderate visual impairment was uncorrected refractive errors (77.8%). Coverage of cataract surgery was of 97.1%, and 82.0% of operated eyes achieved VA ⩾ 20/60. The main barriers to receiving this treatment were fear of the surgical procedure or of a poor result (34.9%), the cost (30.2%), and not having access to the treatment (16.3%). Conclusions. There is a low prevalence of blindness in the studied population and cataract is the main cause of blindness and severe visual impairment. Efforts should continue to extend coverage of cataract surgery, enhance preoperative evaluation, improve calculations of the intraocular lenses that patients need, and correct postoperative refractive errors with greater precision.

This article discusses the relationship between the Argentine government and the indigenous population living in the Río de la Plata viceroyalty from the 18th century until the Argentine Revolution beginning in 1810. It examines the social and economic activity of the people in this region, as well as the labor conflicts that arose during this time period. The author analyzes the influence of these labor and civil rights conflicts on the natives' participation in the revolution, using historical documents, newspapers, and laws written at the time.
